"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy."
1 PETER 2:9-10
Turning to Jesus for life means giving all of you to him. Heart, mind and body. What you have been given belongs to God. For this - you must give away your life - for him. And the Lord will see you - come to you and lead you into all the marvelous works of your Lord. Then, all things good will be done in the name of Christ.
You are made perfect in the image of God. You are not made perfect in the image of man, but rather made to decay and go back the way of the earth as you were formed. To be made in the image of God, you must accept Jesus as the risen Lord, be baptized with water and turn from sin to be directed in every moment by the Holy Spirit that will live in you.
